New Delhi: American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company, SpaceX, successfully landed the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket on land in 2015 and then, in much tougher conditions, on a drone ship in the middle of the ocean in 2016.
Now, the SpaceX hangar boasts of many rockets that could do with being used some more. Well, seems like SpaceX CEO Elon Musk had a similar idea, because he tweeted saying that the first reflight of a used rocket will happen in September or October of this year.

Musk didn't reveal any details regarding the mission, however, it will obviously be a big one for SpaceX.
Elon Musk, who has never refrained from sharing big news about the company on social media, refuted rumours that claimed that Samsung was prodcuing batteries for Tesla. He cleared the air, wherein, he confirmed that Panasonic is the company that is working “exclusively” with Tesla for Model 3, Model S and Model X batteries.
Would like to clarify that Tesla is working exclusively with Panasonic for Model 3 cells. News articles claiming otherwise are incorrect.

S and X cells are also Panasonic
